CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to receive large daily accessions of floating capital, and, as still greater abundance is expected, the future is un doubtedly regarded in a very favourable light by the commercial classes. Accordingly no one appears in a hurry to obtain more accommodation than is needed for present purposes, and the concessions afforded by the discount establishments are there fore regarded as only the forerunner to greater facilities. The rates now range from 5; per cent,. with only a sl;sht demand. The weekly bahnce-sheet issued yesterday by the authorities of the Bank of England contains saveral important alterations, bat as they were more or less expected in consequence of the recent advances to brokers, in anticipation of the coming dividends and other heavy periodical comthirments, they have not excited any great surprise.

Several important alterations are exhibited in the weekly return of the Bank of France, mostly fare - arable in their character. The loans have been reduced £391,000, and the discounts £176,000; but there is also a failing off in the bullion, the dimi nution amounting to £40,000• The Treasury balances have been trenched upon to the extent of £1,471,000. The notes in circulation have been increased £226,400, and the current accounts £173,300.

YELVERTON V. YELVERTON (OR LONGIVORTR). Their lordships resumed the consideration of tuffs long protracted case to-day, happily the last day, with the ex ception of that on which the house will deliver j ,dgment. There were present the Lord Chancellor, who presided, Lord Brougham, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Kingsdown. Mr Rolt, Q.C., in continuing his reply, said that yester day he had called attention to his conviction that there had been no promise of marriage in Scotland. He had said all he considered necessary to be said both on the point of law and fact, and all that remained for him to do was to show that the hypothesis of a marriage in Scotland or elsewhere was wholly without fouedalion,—th.at these never was anything in the nature of a promise of marriage, and he would now proceed with that part of the case. Referring to the • terms of the alleged promise, he said he doubted whether that version of the affair was correct that there was any premise of marriage at all. Those words could not by any law cf evidence be made to refer to marriage at all. There was nothing in it that could tend to bring it to marriage. They might bring it within the probability of marriage, but it was impossible to carry it, beyond that, The words were " I promised to do more than I could have performed when the time came." Was it within the nature of things that by any possibility they could make those words refer to marriage ? He contended teat those words were not sufficient to establish a promise. To establish a promise there must be something pointing to a union of the parties, to the relationship of the parties. There was nothing of the sort in these words which pointed to whatever the other portions of the evidence might convey. Upon the whole he submitted that the portion he advanced, in his opinion, was clear, namely, that marriage was not the footing on which Major Yelverton and Miss Longworth went to Scotland—on the contrary that they met on a footing which was directly opposed to marriage. Major Yelverton had positively refused marriage, and after that Miss Longworth accadecl to his proposals. These were the points on which he proposed to satisfy their lordships. The learned counsel proceeded to speak of the discrepancies in Miss Longworth's evidence, and of the character which M +jot. Yelvorton had borne. Lord Brougham—What. Do you intend to rely upon the excellent character of Maj , r Yelverton? Mr Roit thought ho t►as entitled to adopt that liue of argument. Lord B•ougham said he was not speaking of Major Yel verton's immoralities in the ordinary sense. Mr Rolt said that the contention was that Major Yelver ton was not guilty of treachery in the seduction of Miss Longworth. That was abundantly plain, he thought, from the evidence, The learned gentleman then proceeded to speak of the recklessness of Miss Longworth's averments, and urged that the warner of introduction of the pa, ties was not such as to lead a genletuan in Major Yelverton's position—an officer in the army—to think of marriage, but it was that sort of introduction which might possibly lead a young lady in Miss Longworth's position to suppose that it must eventuate in marriage. The Attorney .General had con tended that soma of he letters contained, in metaphorical language, a promise of marriage, which kiss Longworth accepted; but those letters he maintained did not admit of the interpretation which his learned friend had put upon them, and this he thought sufficiently proved by the fact that in subsequent letters Miss Longworth had shown that she did not regard the words relied upon in the light of a promise. In (me of these letters, drawing her illustration from the drama, she said the next "act" in their career could not be written. Now, if matrimony were intended, there was no earthly reason why it might not be written about. it marriage had been really expected tr intended there would have been no occasion for metaphors and inuendoes, and the part es would not have indulged in cold and indifferent language about it. Moreover, she has spoken of their indefinable relative position, which was inconsistent with the idea of marriage. In reference to that position Miss Lougworth had stated that she had explained to the superior of a convent the nature of that position, but that she had given that view of the case which cleared her character. She did not say she had told the truth; and if there had been any truth in the statement that there had been a promise of marriage, there would have been no occasion for such equivocation. In fact, Major Yel verton had explicitly put her upon her guard against a con tinuance of an acquaintance which reight result in an illicit connection; and it was an important fact, bearing upon that branch of the case, that all the interviews between the parties were sought by Miss Longworth, and not by Major Yelverton. Miss Longworth's letters contained strong ap peals for marriage. He would not detain their lordships by reading he letter on which the Attorney General relied—that letter in which her last appeal for marriage was combined. Everything showed that, up to that time, Major Yelverton had ref used marriage. His object was clearly not marriage, but he intimated that ho was willing to continue the corre spondence, cautioning her, however, as to what might be the result of it. Site said she had a plan to propose which would sstisiy her conscience, but which she had not the courage to mention—that, at all events, could not refer to matrimony, about which there could be nothing which she could not mention. The Lord Chancellor—Did ho not treat her proposal at Balaclava as proposals for marriage ? Mr. Rolt said that there could be little doubt about that She proposed marriage, and was distinctly refused. The evidence was that Major Yelverton proposed that they should be privately married in he Greek Chapel at Balak. lava, but there was no evidence to bear out that statement, and Major Yelverton had sworn that he had distinctiy refused marriage. He did not propose to go into the visit to Scotland, which their lordships had before them yeste+ day, but he remarked upon the corre+ponoence which passed, as utterly inconsistent, even if it was a private marriage. It It were a secret marriage it was Lot secret from themselves, and it was most unlikely that they would correspond with each other without sayirg a word about the contract of mar riage having taken place bet weep them. That, he thought, was a safer ground of criticism than observations upon any particular expressions. The case was proceeding when we went to press. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Bolroyd.) IN RE CAILE. This bankrupt was descrit)ed as of India Arms, Trinity street., Ilotherhi,he, and this was an application for release. There were only two (Mats amounting to £39, and there was no opposition, but it appeared he was bankrupt some time ago, but the order of discharge was suspended for three months which had expired, but he had not taken up his discharge, His Honour said that that must be done before the pre sent petition could be heard, The bankrupt would not therefore be released at present, The bankrupt said that he had been in prison for two months, His Honour said that the detaining creditor could release . - him, M Easton, the creditor, said that under the circum stances he should do so. Is RE VESPER. bankrupt had carried on business as a toy dealer, , in the Bow-road, and this was a meeting for last ex amination and discharge, Mr J. B. Sarre'', Mark-lane, opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had executed a fraudulent bill of sale, by which he had defrauded his creditors of the whole of his property. From the evidence elicited by Mr. Sorrell at prey ens mewings, it appeared that the bankrupt had executed the bill of sale in favour of his brother-in-law, who, however, never took possession, and never had the deed in his possession till after the bankruptcy, but a brother of the bankrupt nominally took pos session of the property before the bankruptcy, and there was a mock sale to bankrupt's son, who admitted, however, he had not paid for them, nor did he expect to be called upon to do so. Mr. contended that there was gross fraud on the credit ors. Mr Oldridge, for the official assignee, said there could be no doubt that there had been collusion, and thought the case should be adjourned sine die. His Honour said it was a very hard case, and the exami nation would be adjourned sine clic, and bankrupt would never pass until he gave up the property or its value, but protection would be granted for oxe month to enable him to do so. A museum of art and antiquities of the middle ages has just been established at Florence, in the Bargello or town hall. Two galleries, one for sculpture and the other for armour, are already opened, and although not to be compared with tho similar collections at Turin, Madrid, Vienna, and Paris, nevertheless contain some interesting specimens. The most important news from the seat of war are given in the Moniteur de l'Artnee. The Austro- Prussians are said to be making great prepara tions. They are assembling between Kolding ana Fredericia a body of troops said to number 3E5,000 men ; they have placed in requisition all the boats and vessels on the coast, and as they have besides, of their own, numerous means of transport, the report is cuerent that they wish to seize succes sively on Funen and Langeland, where they hope to find great resources - for their arc-v. The Danes have at the present moment about 20,000 men in Fuse n, and are preparing to oppose a landing.

Mr Peachy, of the firm of Oliverson, Lane, and Peachy, Frederick-place, Old Jewry, prosecuted on the part of the Russian Government; Mr Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended the prisoner; and Mr Charles Albert interpreted the evidence. It may be remembered that the prisoner went to the cffiee of Mr Prommel and asked for change for two notes, and Mr Prommel told the prisoner they were forgeries. Upon this the prisoner ran away, but ,vas pursued by Mr Prommel and given into custody, and a parcel the prisoner threw away in his flight and also a bag ho left at London-briigc Railway station were found to contain a large number of forged notes. The prisoner has been remanded from week to week for :he attendance of a gentleman from the Russian Bank. SVm. Larendon, ex -sergeant of the metropolitan police, of 16, Coventry-street, Haymarket, provea seeing the pri soner, on the 10th June, rush out of Mr Prommel's shop. He pursued the prisoner, and saw him throw a parcel over the area railings of a house in Panton-square. He went with the prisoner and Mr Prommel towards the station, and seeing a constable handed prisoner over to him. Mr Eugene Klein, clerk in the bank note manufacturing department, St. Petersburg, said that State credit bilis such as those produced were there manufactured. The 50 rouble credit notes of the year 1556 were still in circulation. The witness having examined some o the notes produced, said they were forged. Mr Lewis reserved the prisoners defence, and he was committed for trial. THE "SOCIAL EVIL,"— A " RESPECTABLE" LAND- George Hart, of 38A, Howland street, Fitz roy-square, appeared before Mr Knox, to answer the com plaint of a well .dressed , y , ci o u ti n f g zt w, at r at a e n named ~,stat edthat Howard. she took lod T g h in e g c s onl in p t l h aian e n def t en a d n ant's house at the rate of Lt. 12s. a week, and not being able to pay her rent, owing to illness, she left the house and the defendant refused to give up her box, containing clothes, Cvc. The defendant said he kept a respectable house, and when the complainant came to it he understood she was a married woman and had a weekly income. The Complainant said the defendant knew to the con trary, as there were other young women of the same class as herself in the house. Atter being in the house a day or two the defendant toll her that eke did not bring home gentle. men enough to drink his wine. After hearing the evidence of Michael O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers of the court, and who had made strict inquiries into the matter, Mr. Knox ordered the defendant to give up the com• plainant's clothes. The Defendant said they were in the hands of the broker. Mr. Knox remarked that that was ail the worse for the defendant. He would have to give up the clothes or the value of £5, and 2s. costs, or a distress warrant would issue against him, and if there were nit goods t o di s t ra i n upon the defendant would be committed for a month.

Police-constable GAver, V 132, stated that about half past three c'clock that morning he was near .Battersea bridge, when he heard a great disturbance. He went towards the bridge and there saw several persons fighting with each other near the World's End publichouse. The prisoners were among them. He induced the m o b t o dis perse with the exception of the prisoners, who were drunk and refused to leave. As Gadner insisted on not going away witness was obliged to take him into custody. On his way to the station.b.ouse he became very violent. He also acted in a very violent manner at the station-house. Mr Belte—What did the other prisoner do ? Constable—He said that ho would not leave while his riend was in the station. Boak—You forced me into the cell and I was locked up. Constable—You refused to leave, and I was obliged to !ock you up, Gadner was fined 10s, and Boak was discharged. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—James Coleman, a most audacious young thief, who belongs to a lawless gang fre quenting Ratcliff -highway and adjacent streete,was brought before Mr. Paget charges with assaulting and robbing a foreign sailor named Rushy:lan Anderson, The manner in which many robberies had been effected by the Rateliff-highway thieves of late is somewhat inge nious as well as impudent, Sailors have been surrounded by lade, one of whom calls the attention of the victim to aim° dirt on his shoulder, while one or two others offi ciously offer their services to wine it off, and another, while his attention is engaged, rifles his pockets or snatches his watch, In this manner the prosecutor, who belongs to the ship Hamburg, lying in the Commercial Dock, was accosted yesterday afternoon, Several boys, in cluding the prisoner, came round him, and he telt a tug at his right trousers pocket; his purse, containing £1 15s, was gone. The purse was in the prisoner's hand. The prisoner shouted loudly for the police, and assistance was readily afforded by a respectable man named Bernard Kop per, of No. 8, Warwick-place West, Pimlico, furniture dealer- He was in a house in Ratcliff-highway, and heard the prosecutor " Give me m y m oney." H e went tothedoor calling dilintfaw out the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling together. Another man caught hold of the prisoner, and Mr Kopper fetched a policeman named Stroud, 147 H, who took the prisoner into custody. The purse and money were in his hand, and taken from him. Stroud said the prisoner had been in custody ten times, an d had been summarily convicted. The prisoner, in his defence, said he took no money from the prosecutor. Two or three other boys did so. He was coming along the Highway, and a boy put the sailor's purse and money into his h an d . The sailor took i t out of his hand and gave him into cu s t o d y.

In a recent communication to the Academy of Sciences, M. Fremy, whose name has lately been associated with the great dispute about spontaneous generation, explains his views on the subject. He does not admit, like the heterogenists Pouchet, Joly, and Musset, that living organised beings can spring out of the coetect of lifeless atoms, but he endeavours to effect a compromise between the pare tisans of that school and those of the panspermist doctrine, who attribute all the hitherto unexplained phenomena of vegetation and generation to the action of untold myriads efenicroscopicgerms which in their opinion people the universe. Chemical synthesis, M, Fremy remarks, has already succeeded in producing a certain number of immediate principles of vege table or animal origin, such as glucose, oxalic acid, urea, &e., but independently of these there are others of much more complicated ma:position, containing all theelements of vital organism, such as oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, p!iosphorus, sulphur, and even lime and alkaline substances. Such prin ciples are albumen, fibrin, osseine, the yolk of . eggs, &c. These, M. Fremy thinks, cannot be considered immediate definite principles, and he therefore calls them hemi organised bodies. They stand, with respect to organisation, to the formation of tissues, to the production of ferments, and to putre faction in about the same relation as a dry seed stands to vegetation ; it will remain for years offer ing no signs of life, until at length it finds moisture, warmth, and light, and begins to germinate. Thus hemi-organised bodies may remain a long time in a state of organic immobility; bat when by any agency they quit this state, they will yield at their own expense all the elements of organisation. One of the chief agencies which contribute to force these hemi-organised bathes out of their state of toepor, is what M. Fremy calls organic traction. It is a well-known feet in chemistry that a body which undergoes change will draw a neighbouring one into the same condition, as is the case with nitrifraction for instance. Hence M. Fremy concludes that Ins hemi-organised bodies are drawn into vital action by other bodies in the same vital state;; they are then enabled to form membranes, tissues, ferments, &c. ; they may become organised and be afterwards decomposed; in a word, they will be themselves living agents. We hardly think this iheory will answer the purpose for which it was intend d, viz., that of explaining away the difficulties which have given rise to the theory of spontaneous gdneration, SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, July 8.--Wind this day at noon—North- Weet; moderate breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.

OPENING OF ANOTHER. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCU.—Cardinal Wiseman presided on Tuesday at the opening of a new Roman Catholic Church at Han well, Middlesex. The church has been built from the dA sigus of Mr E. W. Pugin, and, though small, is a beautiful specimen of architecture. It has been built at the expense of one individual, Miss Rabnett, of Hanwell. There was a large attendance of clergymen and laity. Among the former were Mgr. Talbot, one of the Pope's chamberlains. High mass was celebrated by the Very Rev. Dr. Hearne. and the music (Haydn's Imperial Mass) was executed in good style by several of the leading vocal and instrumental Catholic artistes in London. There was a dejeuner afterwards, at which Cardinal Wiseman presided. KEY LOST-0,000 REWARD.—Lost, near Fort Darling, " the key to Richmond," which, as was annaunced by the republican papers, was entrusted in the keeping of the subscriber. It is supposed to have been taken by a fellow narne,lßeauregerd. who violently assaulted, battered, and thrashed the subscriber, caueing him to skedaddle in such has e that he dropped the key, The above reward will be paid in Lincoln skins to any one who will restore it. BEN BuTLER.—Fort Wayne (Indiana, Sentinel, Yesterday an inquest was held on tne body of a woman named Elizabeth Wright, whose death had been clearly accelerated by neglect and want of food• She was formerly a street singer, and, owing to her beautiful voice, had attracted the attention of various ladies, some of whom allowed her rut.ney in her old age. As her son, who was the only person to take charge of her, appears to have been half-witted, the assistance she received was of very little use, and she gradually sank from privation. A TRUE LYTTON !—A bout the only civil remark addressed from the Government side of the house to the Opposition, was the following incidental observation of the Attorney-General's last evening :—ln a very early period of the negotiations, said the right hon. and learned gentle man, there etas a despatch written by Mr. Lytton. He did know whether that gentleman was related to the right hon. member for Hertfordshire. [An HON. MEMBER—His son.] Tha ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Then he was worthily related, for his dEspa'ch showed remarkable ability; and it placed faithfully betore them the difficulty which existed in refer ence to Denmark. ROBBERY AND ARSON BY A CLERK.—On Tues day a young man, ❑amed John Parker, employed as a clerk in the office of Messrs. J . Jseph Maunder and Co., merchants, Royal Bank Buildings, Dale .street, Liverpool, was taken into custody on charges of robbery and arson. About ten months since, Mr Maunder went with his wife and family on a tour to the continent. For the safe keep ing of some valuable pictures, he locked them up in his private office, and with them a number of other valuables, including from £75 to £lOO worth of old and foreign gold coins. These latter were locked up in a cupboard in the private office. On Tuesday a telegram was received from Mr Maund : r, stating that he would be in Liverpool on the followieg day. At a late hour that night the police constable on duty discovered that Messrs, Maunder and Co.'s offices were on fire, He at once passed the alarm to the fire station, and Mr Hewitt and his brigade soon ex tinguished the fire, but not before damage to a cons'derable amount had been done several paintings, and one of them valued at £7OO having been destroyed along with other articles. It was discovered that a large number, if not all, of the gold coins above referred to had been taken away, and it was then suspected that the fire had been the work of an incendiary. It was ascertained that the prisoner on Tuesday evening told a comp tram named Molyneux, that ho had forgotten to leave the keys of the office with the keeper, and that ho would have to go down with them. The young man met him at a quarter to eight, and waited while he went up with the keys, but the prisoner was so long that he caused Molyneux to be impatient and to whistle for him. He at length, however, came, and they want away together. It was also found that the clock in the bffice had stopped at twenty minutes past nine, and it was considered impossible for any one to have gone to the cupboard in which the coins were in the abort period which had elapsed between the time of the pri soner being in the office and the fire reaching the clock. A number of the coins, toe, were found to have been sold at different times at various bullion offices. The prisoner was then apprehended, and he made statement to the effect that when he left the office on Tuesday evening he went home to his mother's house, where he changed his clothes, put ting on the uniform of the Ist L.R.V., of which corps he is a mamber. He had taken the keys of the office with him, and after changing his dress he went down to the (Tee. He :saturated some paper with oil, placed it under the cup board in which the coins had been, and set fire to it, but lid not think of setting fire to the whole office.—Tne pri eoner was yesterday brought before the magistrates and remanded.--1 rmigeler Guqrflian. 1365 154 3 itOi if 11 118 17 13 10,1 i 42t 2 1 98 k 14 1 151 1114 11 185 k tol p dvn 102} 103 i 3 103 21 J SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS TIMES.—The public read the speeches in Parlia ment with more or less pleasure and instruction. They admire the dexteii7 with which Mr. Dis raeli commends everything done by Government in the Danish affair, yet finds reason for an adverse vote in something else of their doing which has spoilt their Danish policy. They admire Gladstone's thunder, Roebuck's biting satire, and 11o:swan's splendid impartiality. We, in the excreise of our vocation, comment on these speeches ; we treat them as manifestos in the great war of opinion. No doubt they have a ceriain amount of European fame. Our French neighbours aS least can understand thern,end are disposed to do them justice , . But all this time it is perfectly well known nt•at the real business in hand is done in a very diffenent manner. Long. headed politicians, with much l'ecowledge of cha racter and of the ways of mortal :nen, are going about counting heads, computing intereets,and doing little sums in addition and eubtraction of immense significa=nce. They do this because they slenow, as every body knows, that votes are.decided out ot - doors, and that the division to-night would be much the same had every speaker spoken in an unknoven tongue which there was nobody to interpret. From day to day, from hour to hour, various figures have gone about as the predestinated event of this debate. Twenty, five and twenty, a dozen or fifteen, a mere shave, a downright minority have been rumoured in turn,the differences of estiteate being referable to tihe health or the engagements of members rather than their opinions. We believe that the most consum mate eloquence would no more affect the division than it would turn cats into dogs, or doge into cats. As matters now stand, and unless something very unexpected intervenes, not to change minds, but to prevent bodies making an appearance, we expect a very modest majority indeed, but still a majority. England is expected to yield a majority of 32 for Ministers, Scotland a majority of 23, amounting to a majority of 5a5 for the whole island. Ireland, however, is booked for a majority of 51 against Ministers, leaving a net majority of 5. The calcu lation which gives these differences supposed 320 to vote on one side and 316 on the other--a very large muster, and one which cannot be reckoned upon with Anything like certainty, even if we had the promise of every member under his sign manual. 'l'he first rtfisction that must present itself' to every body is that the real question is an Irish one. If Ministers are beaten, they will be beaten by Ire land, and what is more, Great Britain will be beaten by Ireland. This is not the first time that one ques tion has been tried under the form of another, for it is a very old remark th a t near ly ever y ques ti on i s tried in this country under a false issue. The Irish members tacitly admit the little interest they feel in the matter actually under discussion, for till Mr. Cogan broke their silence last night they had wholly abstained from the debate. That gentleman's re ferences to Danish affairs are bat slight and casual. He follows the lead of Mr. Disraeli, in throwing such blame as there is on the Foreign Secretary:; and is even more emphatic in his admiration of the Premier. In effect, hoe ever, he makes this a general question of confidence, that ordeal which a Government may escape from ono debate to an other, from one session to another, but which must come at last, perhaps when least expected, not to say least deserved. DAILY NEWS.—The British soldier, even after Mr. Cobden's proclamation, of the millennium, re mains an object of great interest. Utility and scarceness combine to make him a valuable creature, although the India-effice still refuses to protect his life in cur E istern Empire by the arrangements which sanitary science prescribes, and although in New Zealand the services of a whole division are dedicated to the inglorious occupation of seizing the land of savages for civilised settlers. Although of the commonest material, be costs a great deal in the finished state, and just as he has arrived at perfection his obligation to service expires, and we have to tempt him anew. The difficuities we ex perience in keeping up our army in a state of efficiency will probably increase rather than diminish for the next few years, until we have mastered all the elements of what is obviously a state of transi tion, and placed the maintenance of our military force on a basis more in accordance with the changed and still changing economic and social conditions of the classes from which our regiments are recruited. In the meantime, with our present lights, we can see ways of making the soldier's life more attractive within the actual limits of his duty , and pay. The weary monotony of that life in time of peace, arising from want of occupation, has long been recognised as a source of temptation to courses destructive of his health and efficiency, and there fore injurious to the country which he serves. Experience proves that whatever calls into play the better qualities of a man raises him in the process above the influences which lead to vice. A few years ago an attempt was made to turn this koowledge to account in the army. General Craufurd, who visited the camp of Chalons in the summer of 1861, observed thht the French soldiers were very handy, able to shift for them selves, and be useful to their company, through the knowledge which most of them possessed of some trade. He recorded his observations in a report addressed to the War-office, and suggested that it was worthy of inquiry whether something in the same direction might not be done for the advan tage of the British soldier. The late Sir G. Lewis looked very favourably on the suggestion, and a committee of officers was appointed to investigate the subject. The General and other officers coin mending districts in England were written to, and asked to assemble boards of qualified officers, and take their opinion. An overwhelming majority of the officers stated that it would be of immense ad vantage to the service if means were afforded by which the soldier could learn and pursue a trade, under proper regulations. The Chatham board of officers, whose return may be taken as a specimen of the reports generally, declared their conviction that '' the benefit to the soldier from the proposed system would be invaluable. It would in no way diminish his efficiency—it would increase his use fulness on service, and in quarters occupy bis time so ae to keep him a great deal out of the way of vice and add to hls con'entment. It would also make the army more popular, and attract a better class of men into it." But although this was the opinion of the best officers of the army, the scheme fell through, his Royal Highness the Commander in-Chief having unfortunately acquired the convic tion that men would not stay in the army if they were taught how they might get a living out of it. We hope that what is doing now at Aldershott may be taken as a proof that better counsels aro prevailing at the Horse Guards. Aldershot has produced an Industrial Exhibition. Under the guidance and encouragement of officers who show they are 'worthy to command, the soldiers at the camp have furnished the products of their skill and industry, which are now displayed in the Aldershot Club-house, forming a most interesting collection. Every regiment in camp—horse, foot, artillery, and engineers —has sent something for exhibition, and not only the men but their wives and children, and the wives of the officers, have contributed articles. Besides armourers' and smiths' work, harness, accoutrements, and military engineering instru ments, there are specimens of carving, carpentering, cabinet work, which show the men to be equal to the demands either of military or civil life. The remarkable feature of the exhibition is the evidence it offers of the correctness of the opinion of those officers who reported three years ego in favour of encouraging the soldier to pursue some industrial occupation in his leisure time. We meat take it for certain that the men who have furnished the stalls at this exhibition are not the worst but the best men in their several corps ; and we have in this display of their work an indication of the way in which a good soldier is led by choice, when left to his own good sense, to spend his spare time. It may be said that the testimony of the men themselves is now added to that of the officers wbo supported in favour of General Crawfuird's recommendation. We may hope that this exhibition will break down the last remaining prejudice that has operated to pre vent the establishment of workshops for soldiers, which have been found of so much advantage in India.
